Abstract	Conventional photosensitizers (PSs) used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) have shown preliminary success; however, they are often associated with several limitations including potential dark toxicity in healthy tissues, limited efficacy under acidic and hypoxic conditions, suboptimal fluorescence imaging capabilities, and nonspecific targeting during treatment. In response to these challenges, we developed a heavy-atom-free PS, denoted as

Article ; Online: Recurrence of Anterior Vaginal Prolapse After Robotic Sacrocolpopexy: Does Cervical Preservation Affect Outcome?

Abstract	Importance: Anterior vaginal prolapse (AVP) is the most common site of recurrence after sacrocolpopexy (SCP). Supracervical hysterectomy helps to prevent mesh exposure, but it is unclear if cervical preservation (CP) affects adequate reduction of AVP. Objective: Our primary objective was to determine the difference in AVP recurrence rates in patients who have undergone SCP with or without CP. Secondary outcomes were composite failure and complications rates. Study design: This was a retrospective cohort analysis of women who underwent robotic SCP between 2012 and 2019 at Kaiser Permanente Southern California. The first cohort included women with CP (prior or concomitant supracervical hysterectomy). The second included women without CP (prior or concomitant total hysterectomy). Primary outcome was defined as recurrent AVP beyond the hymen. Patients without 12-month follow-up were included in demographic and surgical data analysis only. Results: The charts of 373 patients with CP and 175 without CP were reviewed. Women with CP were more likely to undergo concomitant anterior repair at the time of SCP (14% vs 6%, P < 0.01); however, rates of AVP recurrence were not significantly different between groups (5% vs 3%, P = 0.26). Median follow-up time was 26 months (interquartile range, 14-38 months). Composite failure was similar between groups (17% vs 11%, P = 0.12). Women with CP were more likely to experience asymptomatic apical failure (6% vs 1%, P = 0.03). Conclusions: Cervical preservation at the time of SCP is associated with an increased need for concomitant anterior repair but is not associated with higher rates of AVP recurrence or composite failure.

Abstract	Background: Fatigue, a prevalent complex symptom among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is considered an important clinical indicator of disease severity. However, the underlying mechanisms of COPD-related fatigue are not fully understood. Objectives: This analysis explored the relationships between peripheral inflammatory markers and COPD-related fatigue in people with moderate to severe COPD. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a longitudinal observational study of individuals with COPD examining the biological causes and functional consequences of depression. The data used in this study were collected at baseline. Systemic inflammation markers included C-reactive protein (CRP) and three pro-inflammatory cytokines consisting of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α. COPD-related fatigue was self-reported using the Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire. Covariates included age; gender; smoking status; disease severity; symptoms of depression, anxiety, and pain; and social support. Multivariable linear regression analyses were conducted. Results: The sample included 300 adults living with COPD; 80% were male, and the average age was 67.6 years. Modest correlations were found between two systemic inflammatory markers (CRP and IL-8) and COPD-related fatigue. CRP was the only inflammatory marker significantly associated with fatigue symptoms after adjusting for covariates in multivariable analyses. Depression, pain, and education level were also significant predictors of COPD-related fatigue. Discussion: The findings suggest that altered immune response based on CRP may contribute to COPD-related fatigue. Management of depression and pain may work as an effective treatment strategy for COPD-related fatigue. Further longitudinal studies with a broader range of inflammatory markers and multidimensional measures of fatigue symptoms are warranted.

Abstract	Transitional care management (TCM) services after hospital discharge are critical for continuity of care, and the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift to telehealth modes of delivery. This study examined the shift from face-to-face to telehealth care around the start of the pandemic (April-July 2020) compared with the same months in 2019 and 2021 and the corresponding 30-day readmission rates. We compared the rates of face-to-face and telehealth TCM as well as face-to-face and telehealth non-TCM services and observed a dramatic shift to telehealth in 2020 with a slight drop-off in 2021. For TCM services specifically, face-to-face visits made up nearly 90% of visits in 2019, whereas telehealth made up the vast majority in 2020 and 2021 at 97.5% and 84.9%, respectively. Over the same time periods, 30-day readmission rates remained steady at 10% along with no changes in 30-day mortality. Among those who completed TCM visits, 30-day readmission rates remained between 8% and 9% and 30-day mortality remained below 1%. These data indicate that this dramatic systemwide shift from face-to-face to telehealth TCM was not accompanied by concurrent changes in either 30-day readmission or mortality rates. Although the findings may be subject to ecologic bias, the data at hand did not allow for reliable estimation of differences in effects of patient-level service delivery type on readmission risk or mortality due to the extremely low volume of face-to-face visits during the pandemic periods. Future research would be needed to conduct such comparisons.

Abstract	There is a long tradition of incorporating patient-reported outcomes (PROs) into nursing research and practice. Classical Test Theory (CTT) has been the traditional approach used to develop and refine PROs. Item response theory (IRT) offers promise for addressing measurement problems that have been difficult to solve using CTT. This paper presents foundational concepts in IRT to illustrate how it can be used to improve the development and refinement of PRO measures, with emphasis on interpreting key IRT parameters.

Abstract	In patients with portal hypertension, there are many complications including cardiovascular abnormalities, hepatorenal syndrome, ascites, variceal bleeding, and hepatic encephalopathy. The underlying mechanisms are not yet completely clarified. It is well known that portal hypertension causes mesenteric congestion which produces reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS has been associated with intestinal mucosal injury, increased intestinal permeability, enhanced gut bacterial overgrowth, and translocation; all these changes result in increased endotoxin and inflammation. Portal hypertension also results in the development of collateral circulation and reduces liver mass resulting in an overall increase in endotoxin/bacteria bypassing detoxication and immune clearance in the liver. Endotoxemia can in turn aggravate oxidative stress and inflammation, leading to a cycle of gut barrier dysfunction → endotoxemia → organ injury. The phenotype of cardiovascular abnormalities includes hyperdynamic circulation and cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. Oxidative stress is often accompanied by inflammation; thus, blocking oxidative stress can minimize the systemic inflammatory response and alleviate the severity of cardiovascular diseases. The present review aims to elucidate the role of oxidative stress in cirrhosis-associated cardiovascular abnormalities and discusses possible therapeutic effects of antioxidants on cardiovascular complications of cirrhosis including hyperdynamic circulation, cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, and hepatorenal syndrome.

Abstract	Fluoride is widely present in nature, and human exposure to it is generally regarded as inevitable. High levels of fluoride intake induce acute and chronic illnesses. To reduce potential harm to the general public, it is essential to create selective fluoride detectors capable of providing a colorimetric response for naked-eye detection without the need for sophisticated equipment. Here, we report a one-pot synthesis of four different diaminomaleonitrile-derived Schiff base sensors. The terephthalaldehyde adduct provided a strong color change visible to the naked eye at a F
